Inuksuk Journey is the page-turning and visually stunning chronicle of Mary's summer trip to the Arctic, inspired by her long-held fascination with the ancient Inuit symbol of the inuksuk. An engaging mix of travel journal and gorgeous artbook, Inuksuk Journey combines the best of travel writing with breathtaking paintings showcased in large format across the pages of this book. Her "you-are-there" journal, lavishly illustrated with photographs, sketches, and artifacts, includes encounters with Arctic wildlife, hunting, fishing, and living off the land, and visiting undisturbed relics of Inuit life dating back thousands of years. The knowledge she gains from her Inuit guides allows deep insight into the various forms of the inuksuk and its many purposes. Readers are offered an amazing view of the geography, people, and culture of the Far North, both ancient and modern. Each trip day that Mary experienced inspired striking paintings of the land, sea, sky, wildlife, and the people and culture of the Arctic. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This is a beautiful book that has won several awards, and the detailed narrative provides a good sense of what Wallace's journey through the north was like. However, it may be the case that the artwork and recurring inuksuk theme appeal more to adults than children. My 10-year-old daughter told me that this book did not hold her attention as much as other non-fiction books she'd read recently. Nevertheless, she did say she felt she learned a lot about life in Nunavut. ( )
